Creative Marriage Proposal Ideas
- by KissMeGoodnight.com
Marriage
proposals made over a romantic dinner at an elegant restaurant
can be very romantic but they are
not necessarily creative. Many women dream about the day that
the man of their dreams proposes to them and hope that the
day will be absolutely perfect in every way imaginable. In
a recent study, the majority of married women reported
that they believe that their spouse spent a significant amount
of
money on their wedding proposal but that the lack of originality
in the proposal had left the women feeling disappointed.
One creative way to propose for a couple involved in a long
distance relationship is to plan a surprise visit and
set up a scavenger hunt. You could have a friend pick you up from
the airport so that your girlfriend doesn’t know that you are
coming to visit and have the friend give your girlfriend instructions
for the scavenger hunt. You could hide a number of small surprises
such as candy, flowers and a CD as the first few stops on the
scavenger hunt and then hide at the final location poised to
propose when your girlfriend completes the game.
An
outdoor enthusiast might appreciate a creative proposal
during a camping trip. It’s a good idea to plan a quiet trip
for just you and your girlfriend at a picturesque location.
You could hide the ring in your sleeping bag to use in a surprise
proposal. When it’s time to go to sleep after a long day of
hiking and fishing, you could complain that there must be a
rock or something underneath you and then pull out the ring
and make your proposal. This creative proposal also contains
the element of surprise as a camping trip is not a usual proposal
location.
Another creative proposal idea is to place
an ad in a local newspaper. You could place an outrageous ad in a newspaper
asking anyone who was willing to get married to give you a
call and include a fictitious phone number. Then when you and
your girlfriend are reading the paper together, you could point
out the ad as a joke and while she is reading the ad, seize
the opportunity to pull out the engagement ring and let her
know that you would love to marry her.
Proposing
at a sporting event is a creative way to propose
to a sports fan. For this proposal idea you could either arrange
to have your proposal broadcast over the public address system
or displayed on the large screen. If you are really adventurous,
you could also contact the team’s public relations department
and try to make arrangements to make your proposal on the field
at halftime. They might be willing to help you stage a scenario
where you are either chosen to win a prize or participate in
a contest and while you are on the field, they would hand over
the microphone to allow you to make your proposal.
Another creative marriage proposal idea is to purchase
a book of poems and leave the first few pages intact and
carve a heart
into the remaining pages and sew the engagement ring to the
back of the book. You could suggest taking turns reading the
poems on each page and plan to have your girlfriend turn the
final complete page to reveal the heart and ring that were
hidden inside. This proposal idea is not only creative but
also incredibly romantic.
Having
the DJ of your girlfriend’s favorite radio program ask her if she will marry you is another creative proposal
idea. You will want to make sure that you are aware of the
exact time that the DJ will be sending your message so that
you are able to ensure that you and your girlfriend are listening
together when he makes the announcement. You could also arrange
to have the DJ play a song that has a special meaning for you
as a couple so that you can enjoy a dance together after she
accepts your creative proposal.
Another creative way to propose is to include
all of your family and friends in the event by inviting
them all to a surprise
party for your girlfriend. To make this proposal work, you
would either convince your girlfriend that you want to have
a quiet dinner at home or at a restaurant with just the two
of you. Once you arrive at the destination all of the guests
will reveal themselves and while all eyes are on the two of
you, you could take the opportunity to profess your love and
propose.
Still another creative way to propose is to hide
the ring in an unexpected location. For example you could pretend to
have a clogged sink and while you are working to fix the clog,
you could reach into the sink and pull out the engagement ring.
When your girlfriend is nearby, you could seize the opportunity
to pull out the ring you had hidden earlier and say something
to the effect of, “No wonder the sink is clogged, I’ll have
to find another place to store this ring, how about your finger?”
This whimsical proposal is both light-hearted and creative.
A variation on the traditional proposal at an elegant restaurant
could be to have the waiter bring out the ring with
the bill. You could have a little good natured fun with your girlfriend
by going out of your way to drop hints that you would be proposing
over dinner. If you keep up the act, she will be expecting
your proposal with each course. After dessert you could tell
her that you have something very important to ask and as she
eagerly awaits your proposal, you could ask an inconsequential
question about something completely irrelevant to your relationship.
She will probably be furious at this point but her anger won’t
last as the waiter arrives with the bill and the engagement
ring and you let her know how much she means to you.
Finally a
creative proposal idea is for the woman to ask the man
to marry her, instead of waiting for him to propose. Many
women anxiously await the day that the man in their life will
propose but why not add your own creative twist by proposing
to him instead. The woman is free to propose in any way that
she finds truly romantic and can ensure that the proposal is
both creative and romantic and that it’s a moment that they
both will remember for the rest of their lives.
A great marriage proposal doesn’t have to be expensive or
extravagant. Many women are more likely to cherish the memories
of a proposal that was inexpensive but truly creative. The
creativity is what makes the proposal so memorable and what
makes it a great story to tell their friends.
